Weigh-in

Hi friends, how are things in your neck of the woods? I hope you are well. Lots of stressful stuff happening at work. I was moved to a new department and i am job sharing with another person. Whew... Not easy.

On the upside, my new co workers are health conscious and all work out during lunch. I am glad for the support.

So today i jumped on the scale. I am making a conscious effort every day to eat less Nd move more. After my last chemo 6 months ago, i weighed 190 lbs.

I weigh 185. Funny how the scale said 182 the day before. I am struggling but feel i am feeling motivated.


My weight before cancer was 174. That's my goal by October 1st. I am mot going to lie. Its harder to lose weight this time around. There is a lot of emotions you go through after treatment. Everyday, i feel more and more like myself.

Tomorrow will be weights.

Life is good my friends.

OLD LADY BOOBS AND THE COLOR RUN

Hola, how are things going?

I recently had my 6 month checkup and an appointment with a plastic surgeon. I was so excited about breast reconstruction until my BMI became an issue. It floored me.  I only have one shot at reconstruction and he will not even consider it until I lose 20 pounds. I weigh 186.  DO YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO LOSE 20 LBS for A POST MENOPAUSAL WOMAN?

I cried. Then I cried some  more and then I got busy.

Doing the color run was a good start, right?  It was way difficult to run the entire time due to the large crowds, but it felt great to do another run with my girls.  I can pretty much jog 2.25 miles and then I fad to black... Close, but no cigar. 

I've started back to walking during my lunch, and my doctor gave me the go ahead with weights.  Weights... I've never done weights.  You know, 20 pounds feels REAL HARD, but at least it's 20 and not 100 lbs.  I despise how my prosthesis gives me OLD LADY BOOBS...  Of course, I'm going to be 51 so yea, I guess I should have old lady boobs.  I suppose having teenage boobs should give me the incentive I need to lose, right?  We shall see.

Blogging my food helped me in the past, I hope it helps again.

Stay tuned folks... I' gots me some weight to lose!

Hope all is well.

Best,
Paula
